On Show 041, Mosley and Arthur discuss the significance of New Year’s resolutions. They determined that setting goals are not only important, but essential to living a happy life. And while special occasions, such as a new year, may serve as a time to set these goals, it’s best to live a goal-directed lifestyle.

Here are a few tips that may help you make good goals and keep them:

• Set Reasonable Goals: If you set impossible goals, you’re setting yourself up for failure. Make reasonable goals that will help improve your life.
• Be Specific: Goals like “lose weight” by themselves are too abstract and can be hard to put into practice. Keep in mind what will be necessary to achieve this goal. Maybe write out some sort of an action plan. One could say, “I will exercise daily and eat healthier,” in order to keep on track.
• Don’t Give Up: Everyone will face obstacles, but don’t give up. When necessary, change your action plan or perhaps alter your goal.

And, as promised, here is the article discussed on the show, by Alex Epstein of ARI. And here is the website for Getting Things Done.

We hope you have a goal-driven, productive, and happy new year!!
